The Burning Sea (Nordsjøen) movie review: nightmare (fossil) fuel

Thu, Mar 03, 2022

Not terribly disastrous… until it is. Then movie-movie melodrama gives way to eco-cataclysm and new realms of planetary existential nightmare. I cannot recall a movie’s ending haunting me this much.

LFF is a veritable orgy of cinema, and I love it. It’s exhausting, but I love it.

Ads for Headhunters and The Cold Light of Day. Probably the most guns the London tube has seen in years…

Headhunters (Hodejegerne) (review)

Crazy-funny, a hilarious satire on male inadequacy disguised as an outrageously violent crime thriller. Not at all for the squeamish, and just so wrong that it ends up just so right.
